About this word search
Australia has a proud science record, and the Nobel Prize shared by Howard Florey for his work on penicillin makes a good story to tell alongside this list. Bacteria, Microscope and Experiment all play a part in it.
This experiment has one fixed rule: every term reads forwards, whether horizontal, vertical or diagonal. Hypothesis and Experiment are long and make good first targets. Atom, Cell and Heat are short enough to hide in a corner.
For an adult learning group or a curious grandparent, try explaining one word on the list in plain English and see whether the others agree.
Ways to use this word search
With your coffee
Print a sheet for a quiet moment at the kitchen table or in your armchair. Start with the regular version and save the hard one for when you really have time for it.
On the go
Slip a few printed sheets into your bag for the train, a waiting room or a weekend away. A pen is all you need, no screen required.
Puzzle together
Bring the sheet to your book club, a night in with friends or a visit to your parents and see who finds every word first. Or play online and find out who is fastest.
Try it in Spanish too
